Ukudla okunempilo kungabiza. Cabanga nje ngawo wonke lawo majusi ka-$8 (noma ngaphezulu!) nama-smoothies owathenge onyakeni odlule-lawo ahlanganisayo. Kepha ngokocwaningo olusha olushicilelwe ku Ijenali Yocwaningo Lwabathengi, kukhona okujabulisayo okwenzekayo ngendlela abathengi ababuka ngayo izinga lezempilo lokudla okuhlobene nenani lakho. Ngokuyinhloko, abacwaningi bathola ukuthi uma intengo yokudla iphakama, abantu kungenzeka ukuthi bacabange ukuthi kunempilo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ngezinye izikhathi wenqabile ukukholelwa ukuthi ukudla kunempilo ngenkathi kungabizi. Ngokufanelekile, ngeke yini nonke nifune ukuthi ukudla okunempilo kube kushibhile? Ngokuvamile, okungenani e-United States, abantu baye banqunywa ukuba bakholelwe ukuthi ukudla okusheshayo, okungenampilo kufanele kungabizi, futhi ukudla kwangempela, okunempilo kufanele kufike ngezindleko eziphakeme. (I-FYI, lawa ngamadolobha okudla abiza kakhulu ezweni.)

Ngakho-ke abacwaningi bayithole kanjani le ndlela yokuthenga engalungile phakathi kwabathengi? Abantu bacelwe ukuthi banikeze izintengo ezilinganiselwe emikhiqizweni ngokusekelwe esilinganisweni sempilo esinikeziwe futhi bakhethe ukudla okunempilo phakathi kwezinketho ezimbili ezinamanani afakwe encazelweni. Abacwaningi bamangala ukuthola ukuthi imikhiqizo ebiza kakhulu yayihlala ibhekwa njengephilile, futhi ukulindela ukuthi umkhiqizo ophilile uzobiza kakhulu nakho kwahlala kungaguquki. Enye ingxenye yocwaningo ithole ukuthi umkhiqizo wokudla okhuthaza impilo yamehlo empeleni wenza ukuthi abantu babheke impilo yamehlo njengendaba ebucayi kakhulu ngenkathi intengo yalowo mkhiqizo ibiphezulu-ingeyangempela.

Abacwaningi abagcinanga ngokumangazwa yimiphumela yocwaningo kodwa futhi bakhathazekile. "Kuphathelene nalokhu. Okutholakele kuphakamisa ukuthi intengo yokudla iyodwa ingathinta imibono yethu ngokuthi yini enempilo nokuthi yiziphi izindaba zezempilo okufanele sikhathazeke ngazo," kusho uRebecca Reczek, ongumbhali wesifundo kanye noprofesa wezokukhangisa e-The Ohio State University's Fisher College of Business, enkulumweni yabezindaba. Ngokusobala, lokhu okutholakele kuyakhathaza kancane uma kubhekwa kunjalo kakhulu ukudla ukudla okunempilo kwisabelomali nokuthi kukhona inkatho zezinto okufanele uzicabangele ngaphandle kwentengo lapho uhlola ikhwalithi yonke yokudla.

Mhlawumbe umehluko abantu abavame ukuwenza iphutha ngumehluko phakathi "kokudla okunempilo" nokudla okuvamile okudala okunempilo, uyazi, imifino. Futhi, iningi lemibono eyiphutha enkulu mayelana nokuthi yini eyenza ukudla okunempilo kuhlobene nokulebula. "Ukulebula okungokwemvelo kubalulekile futhi ukudla okuningi kunempilo ngempela uma kuphilwa ngezinto eziphilayo, kepha lokhu akusho ukuthi konke ukudla kudinga lokhu kufakwa ilebula," kusho uDkt Jaime Schehr, onguchwepheshe kwezokuphathwa kwesisindo kanye nokudla okunomsoco. "Empeleni, ukudla okuningi okungenampilo kumsoco wabo wezakhi kubhalwe ukuthi kungokwemvelo futhi kungadukisa umthengi." Cabanga ngakho. Ingabe kungenzeka ukuthi uthenge upelepele obomvu ovamile noma onegama elithi "organic" kulebula yawo? Okufanayo kuya ekudleni "okunempilo" okupakishiwe okufana ne-trail mix. '"Empeleni, akudingeki ukuthi sibheke ngisho nelebuli ekhangisiwe, kodwa kunalokho kufanele sihlaziye umkhiqizo wokudla sisebenzisa ulwazi lwethu olujwayelekile nolwazi lokudla." Ngamanye amagama, asikho isizathu sokukhetha ukukhishwa okukodwa kokudla okulula okuphekwe kwe-vegan okungenayo i-vegan okubiza amadola amahlanu ngaphezulu kwepakethe lezinqathe zezingane kanye nesitsha se-hummus esizokuhlala isonto lonke ngentengo efanayo. Ithole manje: Ukuthi ukhokha okuningi akusho ukuthi kungcono kuwe.

Vele, kunezikhathi lapho uchitha imali ethe xaxa egameni lezempilo kuyinto kuyakufaneleka. Isibonelo, kuvunyelwene kabanzi ngokuthi mhlawumbe kufanele uthenge isipinashi semvelo, njengoba uhlaza olunamaqabunga ludonsa imithi yokubulala izinambuzane efana nayo ubani. (Hlola ukuthi yiziphi ezinye izithelo nemifino okuyizigebengu ezimbi kakhulu zamakhemikhali.) Nokho, zikhona ezinye izimo lapho ungadingi ngempela ukuchitheka. Isibonelo, "ubhanana ophilayo uyincithakalo," kusho u-Auslander. "Akukho lutho olungena kulelo khasi eliwugqinsi." Ubuye ancoma ukuthi ukhethe izithelo ezifriziwe uma usesabelomali ngoba kugcina inani lazo lokudla okunomsoco lapho iqandisiwe. (Faka lokhu okunye ukudla okweqhwa okunempilo ohlwini lwakho lokudla ngokuzayo.)

Empeleni omunye umbono oyiphutha omkhulu ukuthi konke ukudla okuqandisiwe noma okupakishiwe akukubi kuwe, kusho uSchehr. "Abantu bakholelwa ukuthi konke ukudla okubhokisiwe, okufriziwe, noma okuhlanganisiwe akunampilo. Kodwa-ke, kukhona okunye ukudla okuthile okuhlanganisiwe okuyingxenye yokudla okunempilo," kuchaza yena. "Imifino efriziwe, isibonelo, iyindlela enhle yokugcina imifino ekhaya ukuze uhlale uthola imifino engonakali kalula." Ngakho-ke, ngokuzayo lapho uya esitolo, qaphela ukuthi yini ebangele izinqumo zakho kulokho okwenza inqola yakho: Ingabe kungukudla uqobo, noma isitikha sentengo?
